Honour Crimes: Honour Killings

Minister Of Public Works Dept: Killing or mutilating anyone, least of all a family member, is utterly unacceptable under all circumstances, Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for the Status of Women, said Monday at a Punjabi health centre in Mississauga, according to The Star. Repression, oppression and violence to maintain a family's honour may even happen because a girl wants to wear westernized clothing, date a boy who may not be from her own religion or culture or simply wanting to wear make-up and ottawa is condemning honour killings as heinous cultural violence that has no place in Canadian society. Ambrose called on leaders of cultural communities across Canada to speak out against what she called honour crimes and to the subjugation, oppression and repression of women and girls wherever it happens. As reported in the news.
